Pointless Experiments
Pavlov's Frog writes: I once spent 20 minutes with my eyes closed to see what it was like being blind. I smashed my knee on the kitchen cupboard, and decided I'd be better off deaf as you can still watch television.

Oh, related to the story given by the frog.
I practice frequently walking down the road with my eyes closed. It livens up a walk which I've done for the last 17 years.
At first I could only go about 5 steps before having to open my eyes, but now I can walk about 10 before checking for lampposts.
Once I walked into a hollybush, but it was okay, as I had my eyes closed.

Do you "reverse blink" when you do this?
You know, open your eyes for a brief fraction of a second and then shut them tight again as fast as you can?
I used to do this as a kid, and after a while you can do surprisingly well only seeing for 1/10 of a second every 3 or 4 seconds.

I have to admit I do the same
There's a strange thrill to be had walking with your eyes shut.
